Does anyone know off hand of a source for caboose voltage regulators, especially those used by International Car? |

What voltage are you trying to regulate? It might be easier to but off the shelf or build one yourself. |

To be honest, I don't know, but I believe 12 volts. There is a Spicer drive generator, a power receptacle and a 4 cell deep cycle battery in the system. The regulator on the car was destroyed by vandals prior to our acquisition of the car. A source has given me a manufacturer name of Safety Electric, but they don't appear to be in business anymore based on a search I made. We haven't spun the generator yet to see what kind of output voltage it has. |

If it is 12v go down to Napa Auto Parts as that is basically an automotive power system. |
